I applaud your honesty and humor! All I will say is the WP story DID "help" - I would not have known of your blog without it - and you can count me as one more fan!

I am being resourceful and using my writing skills to parlay my life into a better one, not only for me but for my children. I am applying for jobs that align with my qualifications. Moreover, I don't take drugs. I'm not an alcoholic. I'm not panhandling for money. I've been able to keep my house and a stable home for my two boys. I'm not giving up because I believe in myself so others will believe in me. I'm thankful that you took the time to express your thoughts, but you are the only one ever to say that my blog is the "saddest" and that the WP story "is not going to help." Of course, I disagree. But my reason for being is to bring a smile, as small as it might be, to the millions of people who haven't laughed in a good long while. Allow me to do that. Ann Dan,
